Description
Will the Prime Minister give Rupert the political prize he's been hoping for? How much more can Olivia take of her mother Mary and her withering put-downs? Will Charlie get off her phone for long enough to listen to anyone, let alone her boyfriend?
Home truths emerge and a reputation could tumble as Rupert St John-Green MP and three generations of women gather in the family garden to watch a total solar eclipse.
A searingly funny contemporary look at one family and at Britain today.
A searingly funny contemporary look at a fictional Prime Minister, Member of Parliament, and their families.
